A course given in the seventh semester, the
number of units is 4 units, the course is one of the compulsory specialization
courses for students in the physics program, and the course aims to introduce
the student to the concept and structure of the atom, the components of the
nucleus and its properties. And on the energy of nuclear binding and the
concept of radioactivity, its types and units. And on nuclear reactions and
reaction equations
Intended learning outcomes
By passing this course,
the student will be able to compare the types of nuclear models and the
advantages and disadvantages of each model and the difference between the three
types of radiation and the types of forces found in nature and be familiar with
the units of measurement of radioactivity and the associated transformations in
nuclear reactions and that the student recognizes the types of radiation
detectors and their installation and to be able to solve problems with the need
to write the correct units of measurement with the results, which he gains from
the skills that enable him to study other specialized courses.
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures, the use of blackboard, explanation, clarification, linking the material to reality, applying theoretical concepts in various physical problems, and asking questions to students during lectures to discuss solving problems that require thinking and analysis.
Methods of assessments
The
first midterm exam in the sixth week by 15%, the oral exam and participation
during the lecture by 5%, the second midterm exam in the tenth week by 15%,
homework since the beginning of the semester by 5%, and the final exam at the
end of the semester by 60%.
